“While other high-profile teams were starting their seasons against the SW Missouris and the Western Kentuckys of the world, Bama was dropping a lesser opponent to schedule VT for our season opener, and playing 8 straight games before getting a bye week in one of the toughest conferences in the nation. Meanwhile, almost every SEC opponent we faced this season had an open date right before we played them, and we have 5 DAYS to focus solely on preparing for our big rival, Auburn, who has 14 days to get ready for us. So say what you will about the hype Bama's getting, but the fact is few teams could make it to 11-0 under similar circumstances.

As for the Chattanooga game, I was there, and the entire second half was dedicated to giving our backups valuable playing time, and practically all of Mark Ingram's 102 rushing yards came before midway through the second quarter. Unlike some other teams who shall remain nameless, we don't leave our Heisman candidate in the whole game to run up the score and pad stats, in hopes of securing a few more votes. The "team" concept isn't lost on us, TYVM.”

“I agree with a few of your things so let me start with that. I agree that they gush too much about the SEC and Big Ten while giving no credit to the other conferences. To me, the ACC is as tough as any conference there is. And I'll even give the Pac Ten conference some love as being tough and competitive in it's own right. To me, ALL of the conferences should be taken seriousy, including those that TCU and Boise State belong to.

What I disagree with, and I can't believe I'm defending Florida here as they are the hated rivals of 2 of my current teams. But both Bama and Florida didn't really get much of a break til this week. And these games really had no impact on the rankings, or anything. They were simply scheduled for both teams to have some tune-up time prior to placing their biggest, most dangerous rivals of the year. Those being Auburn and Florida State. Both of which could realistically beat Bama and Florida respectively in a couple of weeks. I think if UF goes into the FSU game expecting an easy time because God Bowden is retiring and FSU is having an off year, they will be proven wrong. Most especially this year.”

“Actually, you're on to something.

Women tend to repeat in their private lives what they experienced at home with dad. So if dad wasn't emotionally available or was physically absent a lot then the daughters in those households often choose men who really aren't "there" in one way or another in the relationship.

As the male definition in the household, women are often looking for a daddy substitute and bad boys fulfill that role because they are more dominant personality types who insist on calling the shots in a relationship whereas nice guys tend to be more wishy washy in that regard. In other words, the bad boy becomes her daddy. Kinda wacked, but true.”

“or stupidity?”

“Yep, shooting from the hip and lock step with Mssrs. Bush and Cheney so they could do whatever they wanted and everybody said yes, let's do it, aided and abetted by the MSM.”

“yes carly RUN! It would provide immense entertainment.
The CEO who ran "another" American company in the ground,
and walked away a millionaire!!
Then was an advisor to the losing team...
and before that was over...
she made a HUGE GAFFE...
and was pushed out.
ohhhhh please Carly run!
The American people are not p*ssed off enough over CEO's like you!

If wishes come true......­..........­.”

“Thats because you really dont know him. He is a great guy and will do a great job”

“You're not too wrong. I like Malloy and Ed is ok....just ok.”

“I think he wants to compromise with the powers that be, not confront them.”

“O-kaay...”

“It was Nancy Astor, not Margot Asquith,”

“Sounds like you all just can't wait to start paying higher taxes. It makes me wonder how many here are really taxpayers at all.”

“Sorry Duckie, you are not wrong. The Republicans have put him in a corner.
Bet his wife is really happy about that.”

“stand up to them? I takes 2/3 vote in BOTH houses to pass the budget. What do you suggest they do?”

“Yes, the gerrymandered Republican state reps are 100% against any tax hikes. So was Schwarzy, for a long while. In fact, he recently vetoed budgets that added tax increases.”

“The Democrats need 3 Republicans on their side to pass anything at all. They can stand up to them all they want, but they can't make them vote.”

“You are quite correct sir. The minority repubs have taken the state hostage.”

“The cost of social welfare is small compared to the true welfare queens of the 80s, 90s and new millenium - corporations.

Nadya is a proven liar, but the welfare it will take to feed these kids is much much less than the cost of corporate welfare.”
